Why tariffs are bad for the Canadian economy

Tariffs can hurt the Canadian economy because they make selling Canadian goods in other countries more expensive. When other countries place tariffs on Canadian products, it can lead to fewer sales for Canadian businesses. That means less money coming in, leading to job losses, reduced business growth, and slower economic activity overall.

Even when Canada imposes tariffs on imported goods in response, it can raise prices for Canadian consumers and businesses that rely on those products. This can lead to higher costs, lower profits, and a weaker economy.
